Crow, Stick, and the Crumb Under the Mat - 適合初級的英文短篇故事，含中譯與發音

A metal cup tapped against a wooden step.

Wings rustled near the porch rail.

A crow landed and tilted its head at a crumb.

The temperature under the awning stayed cool.

The crow stepped close and pecked near the crumb.

Its foot bumped the cup once.

Water spilled onto the mat below.

The mat turned damp, and the crumb slipped under it.

Brown leaves began to gather at the step.

The crow scratched the edge, but the gap stayed small.

It picked up a short stick in its beak.

It pushed the stick under the mat and lifted.

A breeze flipped a napkin off the table mid-lift.

The napkin fell on the corner and slid the stick.

Willa opened the door and looked at the porch.

"Oh, hello there, little bird," she said softly.

The crow slid the napkin aside with the stick.

It pushed the stick deeper and raised the mat.

The crumb rolled out, round and wet from the spill.

It clicked its beak once on the wood.

一個金屬杯在木階上叩叩作響。

門廊欄杆旁傳來翅膀的沙沙聲。

一隻烏鴉落下，歪頭看著一粒麵包屑。

遮棚下的溫度保持清涼。

烏鴉走近，在麵包屑旁邊啄了一下。

牠的腳撞到杯子一下。

水潑到下面的門墊上。

門墊變得潮濕，麵包屑滑到墊子底下。

棕色的落葉開始在階邊聚集。

烏鴉抓著邊緣，但縫隙依然很小。

牠用喙叼起一根短木枝。

牠把木枝頂到門墊底下，然後抬起。

一陣微風把餐巾從桌上掀起來。

餐巾落在角上，並把木枝滑開。

Willa 打開門，朝門廊看去。

她輕聲說：「喔，你好啊，小鳥。」

烏鴉用木枝把餐巾推到一旁。

牠把木枝再頂深一點，抬起門墊。

那粒麵包屑滾了出來，又圓又濕。

牠把喙在木頭上輕輕點了一下。
